Penny Arcade Hl2 Comic

DOOManiac

I tried to think of something witty to put in the topic title and subtitle, but nothing can compare to the pure comedic genius of this comic, so I didn't try:

(Obviously stolen from <a href='http://www.penny-arcade.com' target='_blank'>Penny Arcade</a>)

I laughed and laughed when I saw this one. :D

Snidely

I <i>wish</i>. You can't seem to break things on allies' heads.

I did that in Deus Ex 2, til someone called a cop to come beat the crap out of me. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

This was posted in another topic, but whatever. I can't find it funny, probably because I haven't played HL2 and it's Penny Arcade.

That was the headcrab one, probably. Or maybe it was in one of the spoiler topics. Either way, PA = Teh win.

Thanks, Skulkbait and Doom, I was hoping someone on the boards would make a note of these two. Great stuff. Both of which had me laughing for quite some time.

It's funny because you have a PhD in Theoretical Physics from MIT and are trying to save the world from aliens after having become enmeshed in schemes much greater than one man, and you're throwing bottles at the oppressed masses you are meant to liberate from their stupor.

Why does Gordon Freeman look like David Baddiel?

Ratonetwothreetwoone

haha, i remember the beginning of the game when the combine guy told me to throw something away, then he wacked me, so i picked it back up and chucked it at his face.... **** him off but i ran long enough he eventually just got bored and went back by the garbage can....

Dunno how or why, but I thought he bore some resemblance to Spielberg when I first saw it.

But you already have a Phd in theoretical phsyics and go around BEATING CRAP WITH A CROWBAR!!! You can't get more juxtaposed than that! Penny arcade loses in funny to the entire concept of the half life series.

I'm pretty sure every single person who has played HL2 has thrown bottles at people. It's just too tempting.

That would kind of be the universal essence of the joke.

unfortunately a few who have posted seem reticent to admit this.

They always covered the whole head.

Gwahir

always the whole head, just before they weren't the right size... it was as if the head was at least partially removed, now it's a more realistic size.

meh your right.. I was jsut referring to that one scene in HL when you walk up to that scientist slouched on the floor agasint the wall. (If you try to whack off the head crab or shoot it, you hear the scientist scream and he dies)

The head crab only seemed to be attached to the front part of his head, covering his face.

But yea the full blown zombies the headcrab was always a lot bigger than the when they leap at you.

Wrong again.

TheWizard

Some PA cartoons just hit me the right way.

twoflow

I like the ones where Tycho hits Gabe.

Scribbles

I allowed my kid brother to play for a little while, and at the scene where you detour through a flat, right before you get discovered by the combine, he took a good 15 minutes to collect everything that wasn't glued to the floor and threw it out of the window, on the police car below.

The milk can's *boing* sound, as it hit the windshield, was especially satisfying. And ripping peoples TV's off of the walls and throwing them through their window, right in front of them, is allways good for a few laughs as well.
